Counselors and Coaches in Bristol – Life Coaching, Anxiety, Depression

The process of scheduling a counseling, therapy or coaching appointment should not be cause for frustration, but it is for many. Thriveworks is here to end that frustration.

While many people come to our office to simply check in with themselves and their progress, others begin looking for a clinician during a state of heightened emotional duress — often having already spent several weeks, months or even years dealing with the hurt alone.

In the latter scenario, you wouldn’t want to spend another few weeks waiting for relief, you want that relief to come swiftly. Leaving several voicemails trying to find someone who can meet with you in a timely fashion and accept your insurance can significantly worsen your frustration.

At Thriveworks Bristol Counseling, we know how taxing this process can be for many, so we invented a new approach to counseling that aims to provide you with the help you need, when you need it — not weeks later. From the time you call until your first appointment, we make the progression as inviting and as simple as possible.

You’re invited to begin thriving!”

We wouldn’t be where and who we are if we didn’t believe everyone has the potential to benefit from counseling and coaching — to thrive.

Perhaps one of the following situations seems familiar:

You’ve been recently separated from your spouse and don’t know if reconciliation is possible

Your child’s school performance has suddenly plummeted, and you can’t figure out why

You and your significant other are thinking about getting married and want to begin premarital (or pre-engagement) counseling

A close loved one recently passed away, and you need help overcoming your grief

You have inexplicable aches and pains that do not go away with medical treatment

You or your spouse has mentioned feeling unfulfilled sexually

You no doubt have your own hardships. These problems themselves are not shameful or tragic unto themselves. What is tragic, however, is going through going through these issues alone and not reaching out to someone who has had great success helping other overcome similar situations.

No matter what obstacles and forks come across our life’s path, understand that you are not alone. Relief is available. Reach out to Thriveworks Bristol Counseling to get started.

Counseling and coaching address an aspect of our overall health that is often left ignored.

People often obsess about their external appearance (sometimes at the cost of their overall health), but neglect to give appropriate attention to their mental wellness. Without achieving a balance in the mind and the body, it’s easy for negative, untrue interpretations of reality to set in and turn simple tasks and decisions into overwhelming burdens.

Wellness involves the whole of the person.

The mental health professionals at Thriveworks Bristol Counseling are well versed in the numerous reasons why people pursue therapy, which include:

Anxiety disorders

Couples and marriage counseling

Eating disorders

Obsessive-compulsive tendencies

Grief counseling

Child therapy

Suspected abuse of a child

Psychiatric testing

Anger management

Addiction issues

Life coaching

Life transitions such as divorce or loss of a job

6 months in and still coming. Have been helped immensely. Safety, convenience, compassion and (!) late hours really helped me commit.”

No Waiting Lists: Sessions within 24 Hours

Some counselors think that having a waiting list is a sign of professional success. We see it as a sign of a poorly managed practice.

As stated earlier, we at Thriveworks believe that everyone can benefit from counseling or coaching, that everyone has the potential to find meaning, balance and fulfillment in life. We don’t believe you should have to wait several weeks (or months) to experience relief, however.

We want you to receive the care you need, when you need it, so when you call Thriveworks, one of our friendly scheduling specialists will set you up with an appointment for the same week, if not within 24 hours of your call to us.

Concierge-Level Access to Your Coach or Counselor

Every Thriveworks Bristol Counseling client receives the phone number and email address of his or her therapist or life coach, and has an open invitation to reach out to him or her — even without an appointment.

Extended Evening and Weekend Hours

Thriveworks Bristol Counseling offers session times that suit your schedule, with appointments available during the daytime, evening and on weekends. Our current hours of operation are from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

Even if you need an appointment outside of our posted schedule, don’t hesitate to contact us. Our team has been known to schedule clients outside of our already extended hours.
